Third Annual Amnesty Nipissing Write for Rights Event

​This Friday December 9, the Amnesty Nipissing
Community Action Circle will host a letter-writing event and Open House from 11
a.m. – 2 p.m. in room A244 to celebrate International Human Rights Day.

This is the third time this event has been
held at Nipissing. In each of the previous Write for Rights events, over 50
letters were written by students, staff and faculty in support of prisoners
unjustly jailed and subject to torture.

Personal, hand-written letters are a
powerful tool for social justice: two of the cases from 2015—Phyoe Phyoe Aung
(Myanmar) and Yecenia Armenta (Mexico)—were released from prison, with the
charges dropped or sentences acquitted.

This year’s cases are from Egypt, Cameroon
and China, and they include a photojournalist taking a picture of an
anti-government demonstration, a student forwarding a text message critical of
Boko Haram to a friend, and a professor writing to encourage non-violent
protest against discrimination of his ethnic minority. Each of these individuals are in prison and
suffering from mistreatment.

Amnesty Nipissing hopes to engage everyone
in our community to help take action against this violent suppression of free
speech by making this the most productive Write for Rights event yet.

The goal is to double last year’s letter
count by posting 100 hand-written letters.

Though the cases are serious, the event
need not be: refreshments, seasonal good cheer and company will be provided in
abundance.

Write for Rights is open to everyone.

Anyone with questions about Amnesty
International or the event is encouraged to contact Dr. Gyllie Phillips at amnestynipissing@gmail.com. ​
